I've just remembered, I actually came here to be helpful to my fellow Autists and Aspies!
I can write a good title, I believe, but now I have to reel in my reader, and get him her or it to reflect on those times where their "being special" gave them a "head and shoulders" advantage over the Neurotypicals.
So if you've got any instances, where being on the spectrum is clearly giving you an advantage please, try and share it with the rest of us.
THIS thread COULD be a useful resource, for those of us who feel Autism is all disadvantage, or those poor souls who have little idea of the great power they can be weilding without understanding..
Which to be frank, is where I've been for the vast majority of my life and if I can save ONE OTHER PERSON from that particular fate, with this thread, I will have "won" under the rules of the game I play... I know some people will post good stuff, and I'd like to say thank you up front, rather than be cluttering up the thread with my comments.
This, although part of my schtick is for YOU GUYS, I'll be busy wittering on another thread, although, I'll monitor this one of course, I may learn somethinig useful! :c)
